    Heavier cars cause more wear and tear on the road, increasing the road maintenance costs. They also have larger tires. Tire dust is a large component of microplastics.

    Your one specific example is not the “gotcha” you think it is. Larger vehicles use more energy. That’s just physics.

      You missed the part where it says 2 ton for full electric? More heavy electric cars with their instant torque and very high torque values tear up the road and its tyres more than the petrol variant.
